A: Today's #COVID19 press briefing tie worn by @GovMikeDeWine recognizes this campus, established in 1845 and boasting more #Ohio Professors of the Year than any other four-year institution in the state. Q: What is @wittenberg? #SpiritWeekOhio #InThisTogetherOhio @AICUOhio

Thinking so much about our entire @wittenberg community, all those affected by #COVID19, and how relevant and inspiring our motto is today just as it has been for generations: “Having Light We Pass It On To Others.” Keep passing the light! #WittProud #TigerUp

Happy #Witt175 to my alma mater! Want to note this special man: the late Dick Veler ‘58. A mentor and a dear friend, he made a difference in my life & so many other @wittalumni. Join me in making his endowed chair a reality during #Commit2Witt today. bit.ly/337mhCg

Been encouraged to share a personal piece I wrote a while back on the late Dr. Veler, knowing now that #Commit2Witt includes a chance to help fund an endowed chair in his name. bit.ly/33fbGFh Hope it inspires others to support teaching excellence today at earlier link.

Thank you, Pastors Andy and @rkstune, for always embracing @wittenberg’s value of compassion, which was evident again in yesterday’s hosting of a candlelight vigil to remember all those slain in Sri Lanka. #HavingLight
